Chapter 371: That’s it?
A huge moon rose slowly outside the French window. The whole hall was shrouded in the cool moonlight. The shadow of the window pane was projected on the back of the bench. Two men sat at the two ends of the bench, one talking about his dreams and the other listening quietly.
The strange thing is that Huang Tianming was talking and Bifang was listening.
Upon learning that Bifang was going to Mount Everest, the security guard's reaction was much stronger than expected. He was even more excited, and with a flushed face, he talked about his desire to save money to go on an adventure trip.
Huang Tianming talked for a full quarter of an hour before he muttered, "Mountain climbing is expensive, right?"
Bifang nodded gently: "Well, about 200,000 each time."
" Oh. Really, really, I want to go, to see the snow-capped mountains, very high snow-capped mountains." Huang Tianming looked up at the moonlight, then looked down at his uniform, and suddenly sighed. His originally flushed face suddenly faded, like a red balloon that had been punctured. "You are so lucky. You are handsome, you know a lot, and you are good at everything. I have nothing, I am poor and ugly."
Bifang scratched his eyebrows. The sudden change in style made him speechless for a moment . He couldn't help but think of the time when he first came to this world.
I was so poor that I couldn't even afford to eat, and I could only get through the first few days relying on the help of friends in the phone book. What should my original life be like?
Maybe even CWCA can’t join?
Thinking of this, Bifang raised his eyebrows and suddenly had an idea: "Do you have anything to give me?"
"It's really okay. No need. Um? W-what?"
Halfway through the refusal, Huang Tianming was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
That's not right.
You sprained my arm, so shouldn't you be the one giving me something? Why are you asking me what's going on?
Seeing that the other party was stunned, Bifang urged twice: "Do you have any? Anything will do, preferably something light and not easily damaged, a piece of cloth or something will do."
"Oh, yes, yes. This is the ID card I carry with me every day. I brought it to the corner of the table when I was sleeping at noon today, and it broke. I have been stuffing it in my pocket ever since."
Out of professional habit and because he was his idol, Huang Tianming did not care too much and took out a blue rope from his pocket.
Just as Bi Fang reached out to take it, a familiar voice rang out again, interrupting their conversation.
"Hey, where's Old Yellow? Are you okay? If you are, come over here right away. You asked for leave last month, don't be lazy!"
"Hey, I'll be right there!" Huang Tianming stood up reflexively and responded loudly, then turned to Bifang and apologized, "Sorry, I talked so much when I was excited."
"It's okay, it's my problem."
Bifang sprained the other person himself, so what's the big deal about listening to a conversation?
"If you're alright, I'll leave first."
Huang Tianming felt quite regretful, but still nodded and watched Bifang turn and leave towards the gate.
It was nearly midnight and the hall was almost empty. Huang Tianming, who was shocked by the achievement of climbing Mount Everest, looked at the figure walking out of the door and gradually going away. Somehow, he suddenly had an impulse and waved and shouted at the man who walked into the darkness.
"Come on, I will definitely see you reach the top! Number one in the world!"
Bifang put one hand in his pocket, smiled silently when he heard Huang Tianming's shout, looked up at the man with his back to the martial arts practitioner and raised his right hand. The blue rope fell naturally and was then tightly grasped.
"First!"
…
"call."
Bifang exhaled slowly, and the long breath was continuous. If someone looked closely, they might even mistakenly think that Bifang had stopped breathing.
Get rid of the thoughts in your mind. There is no point in dwelling on the past. The best way to face life is to be kind to the future.
Bifang finally had time to carefully feel his new state. Each breath was very long, and an obvious and extremely powerful effect was manifested in him.
The body seemed to be washed from the inside out by clean water and became very relaxed. Not only that, Bifang even felt that his vitality was stronger, and the activity of his organs, muscles, and bones seemed to have improved.
Just like an ordinary car delivering tofu, it kicked off the old and rusty antique and suddenly replaced it with a racing-level engine and filled it with fuel. Every cell was developing and making a high-pitched roar. His hairs stood up and he got goose bumps!
If I was like wearing a layer of "lead clothes" before, now I have taken off the "lead clothes", my ears and eyes are clear, and my whole body is relaxed.
The cold wind blew at midnight, and it was as if I was in a world of ice and snow. A black storm swept across the sky and the earth, and a tiny figure was waving a mountaineering pickaxe on the rock wall, trying his best to climb up.
The storm cannot shake the steadfast figure, and the cold cannot freeze the hot heart.
Looking at the empty and boundless streets, Bifang put on a hooded sweatshirt and slowly ran towards home. The total distance was less than 26 kilometers. At this time, the reborn Bifang did not take this distance seriously at all.
One hundred minutes later.
Bifang leaned against his door, breathing heavily, with beads of sweat sticking to the ends of his hair and dripping down bit by bit, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face, he even still had a smile on his face.
Twenty-six kilometers in one hundred minutes, this speed cannot be considered the best in the world. The increase in maximum oxygen uptake brings about a significant increase in endurance and recovery, but the physical fitness has not improved much, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the top.
But speaking only of endurance, Bifang was already very satisfied. Leaning against the door, he could clearly feel his heart beating steadily and powerfully, and he still had energy to spare!
And just by stopping to rest for a few minutes, the overall condition will be much better.
When it comes to mountaineering, the most important things are endurance and recovery. People with high maximum oxygen uptake values are very suitable for this extreme sport!
…
The next day, Bifang, dressed neatly, took out a black baseball cap from the closet and put it on his head, then walked out into the yard with a backpack on his back. Outside the gate, Yao Jun, who was also dressed in the same outfit, honked the horn, and the car behind rolled down the window. Wang Yongbo, with two big panda eyes, was sitting in the back seat.
It's a pity that, because Bifang was worried that Wang Yongbo would dissuade him, he didn't inform Langya of his schedule immediately. He even asked Yao Jun to find someone to make and send out the promotional posters.
Therefore, Wang Yongbo knew that the Wolf King of Langya was going to climb the snow mountain only ten minutes earlier than Bifang's fans. After learning about the difficulty through some professional outdoor anchors, he stayed up all night, found Yao Jun early in the morning, and took a car with him to find Bifang.
Yao Jun honked the horn twice more: "Hurry up, didn't you say time was tight? It's already nine o'clock."
"What are you urging me to do?"
Wang Yongbo looked at Bifang getting on the bus, knowing that he couldn't stop him at this point, so he could only hand Bifang the boarding pass: "Think it over carefully. Although I posted the promotional posters and started to build momentum yesterday morning as you instructed, it doesn't matter if you really regret it and don't want to go. Just make a random video to fool people. This mission is very tight, and people will be disappointed at most, and there won't be much reaction. Your fans are very sticky, and it's almost impossible for them to leave after watching. So even if they are disappointed, it will hardly affect the live broadcast. As for Langya, I'm too lazy to say anything... Anyway, we all treat you as our uncle."
As a senior executive of Langya, Wang Yongbo is no longer afraid of anything at this moment. The meaning of his words is also very clear. Langya's current mentality is that he particularly likes Bifang.
Bifang smiled and said that he didn't act like a boss. They were a commercial company, not a charity. The fact that they could indulge him without any complaints was already a sign of human touch.
Even if he proposed to raise the price in person, Langya would not refuse at the first moment, but would start to consider it immediately. However, Bifang felt that it was unnecessary, as raising the price was not a manly thing to do.
At the beginning, Langya offered such a sincere price when I hadn't yet fully demonstrated my value. Naturally, I have to return the favor. It is enough to get what I deserve.
"Have you completed everything I asked you to arrange?" Bifang fastened his seat belt and turned to look at Yao Jun.
"Everything is ready. The guide and photographic equipment have been arranged for you. Jarrett and the others have arrived there ahead of time. The equipment you sent yesterday has also arrived. By the way, there is also this thing you asked me to get. Be careful with it. I asked someone to get it for me urgently. There are only these two. There are not many more." Yao Jun opened the handrail box, pulled out two small silver-white metal cylinders from it and handed them to Bifang.
"Okay, two is enough, one is a spare."
"Okay, it's a pity that Lin Chang is not as free as me and can't come along, otherwise he would definitely want to join in the fun."
Wang Yongbo, who was sitting in the back row, came forward curiously and looked at the metal pillar. He was extremely curious: "What is this? Is it a mountaineering tool?"
"Haha, this is a secret. Hey, Mr. Wang, why are you still here?" Bi Fang was just about to be mysterious when he suddenly realized that Wang Yongbo was still sitting in the back row! He turned around and saw, damn, why is he wearing sportswear?
Bifang, who was always used to seeing Wang Yongbo in a suit and penguin costume, rubbed his eyes, feeling that it was irritating. He thought that Wang Yongbo would leave after explaining things, but now it seemed that something was not right.
Wang Yongbo scratched his head embarrassedly: "To be honest, climbing Mount Everest is also my dream."
Bifang widened his eyes and looked up and down at Wang Yongbo's body, which was 165cm long and 165cm heavy, and could not even fit into his field of vision. He was horrified.
Even the Sherpas won’t be able to lift you like this!
“What’s that look in your eyes?” Wang Yongbo was a little angry. He always felt that Bifang’s look was very rude. “I know my own abilities, so I just went over to take a look. I never thought about climbing the mountain! I will stay in the base camp and not go anywhere. I will just take a closer look at you reaching the summit!”
Bifang breathed a sigh of relief. There are few people climbing Mount Everest, but there are countless people who travel there every day. Wang Yongbo is just one of them, and like Yao Jun, he goes there to join in the fun.
He was the only one climbing the mountain.
But Bifang thought again, scratched his head, hesitated for a moment but still told him: "Boss Wang, the base camp is also 5,000 meters. Yao Jun is okay, at least he is young, and your physical fitness..."
“What? There is such a thing?” Wang Yongbo was horrified, his face quickly turned pale, but he quickly recovered and waved his hand, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll go too. I’ll stay in the hospital to watch you reach the summit! And you’ve never been there, so how do you know I can’t do it? Damn it, don’t underestimate me!”
How do you, a middle-aged man in your forties, manage to roar like the protagonist of a Japanese comic?
Bifang is quite troubled, but there is no need to worry too much. Every year, a large number of people who think they will not suffer from altitude sickness go to Mount Everest and are then rushed to the hospital.
Already very experienced.
Half a day later, a terrible howl was heard.
"Oxygen cylinder! Quick, give me an oxygen cylinder! Ugh!"
Bifang supported Yao Jun and Wang Yongbo on the left and right, with a speechless look on his face, and at the same time took out the oxygen cylinder that he had prepared long ago from his bag.
I guess Wang Yongbo might not believe it, Yao Jun, why are you so bullshit?
Originally the oxygen tank was just for emergencies, but I didn't expect it to be actually used.
Wang Yongbo took the oxygen tank and took a deep breath. His pale face finally regained some color. He looked at Yao Jun who was in an equally miserable state and laughed at him mercilessly: "Hahaha, is that all? You're not as good as a fat guy like me. You're panting more than me."
"Damn it, this is a bad idea." Yao Jun breathed in oxygen weakly, extremely puzzled, "I have been exercising in the past few days, why is it useless?"
"Come on." Bifang helped the two of them sit down and explained, "The more you exercise, the more likely you are to get altitude sickness, because exercise will keep your muscles highly active and your metabolic capacity higher, which will eventually lead to an increase in oxygen demand. You suddenly come to a place with thin oxygen, so the oxygen supply naturally can't keep up. That's why it's recommended to stop exercising a week before going to a high altitude. It's also my fault for not reminding you, but it's too late to remind you. Time is short, and it won't be any use if you stop for a day or two."
"Okay." Yao Jun nodded weakly. Just as he was thinking about what was going on, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. "That's not right. You don't exercise more crazily than me. How come you're fine?"
Bifang raised his eyebrows and sneered mercilessly: "You compare with me? I need more oxygen, but my oxygen intake is stronger! At least this much stronger than you. But don't you like outdoor sports? How come you don't even know this? You've never climbed a mountain? Or are you just a fool?"
"You're the only one who loves dragons." Yao Jun rolled his eyes. "I've never climbed a mountain. It's true that I like sports, but at most I go out for a run. I've never climbed a mountain higher than 3,000 meters."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a waste to keep so many mountaineering equipment in your house. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid they would have been covered in dust since they left the factory."
Yao Jun looked at Bifang pointing to the sky and almost fainted from anger.
On the other hand, many people who had just got off the plane also suffered from altitude sickness of varying degrees. Almost no one was as fine as Bifang. Unfortunately, not everyone was prepared in advance, and a few even felt uncomfortable on the spot.
"Little brother, do you have any more oxygen tanks? I feel really bad and want to vomit."
"Sorry, I only prepared two, and you see, I used them all."
"Doctor, doctor, someone has fainted here!"
Some individuals in the crowd even began to stagger.
"Look, there are oxygen tanks for sale!"
"I want one too, I want one too!"
"Give me one!"
"Sir, oxygen tanks are three hundred dollars each."
"Three hundred bucks, why the hell don't you just go rob? Oxygen in the hospital only costs a few bucks an hour!"
"How can you make more money by robbing than by selling oxygen tanks? Sir, do you want one or not?"
Yao Jun held his forehead in extreme pain: "How long will it take for me to recover?"
Bifang thought for a while and said, "It will probably take a few days. It depends on your personal qualities. Or you should go back. If something really happens, it will be very troublesome."
To be honest, Bifang didn't expect these two guys to react as soon as they got off the plane. It's normal that they wouldn't react that quickly, right?
"No, I won't do that even if I die!" Yao Jun's face flushed red. He looked at the oxygen tank seller not far away and waved his hand, "I have plenty of money. Over there, give me a hundred oxygen tanks first!"
Bifang sighed.
"Hey, why bother?"
